Does the StealthSurfer device deal with proxies or ways to disguise your IP address or surfing identity? [click here]

What StealthSurfer memory sizes are available? [click here]
StealthSurfer is currently available in 256MB, 512MB, 1GB, 2GB and 4 GIGABYTE capacities. Larger capacities will be available in the future.
Can you modify the product so that it can be customised for companies who require large quantities of the StealthSurfer? [click here]
Yes, we can modify the bookmark and the startup homepage to make it unique for a given reseller. For example, a casino could choose to have their homepage automatically load upon startup and could feature bookmarks for their sites. In this way, the StealthSurfer can become a powerful value-added marketing and sales tool.
I hear that browsing through a device slows down the Internet connection. Is that true with the StealthSurfer? [click here]
Web surfing is affected by many factors: connection speed, processor speed, time-of-day, and etcetera. Because all files and cookies are cached on the secure and removable StealthSurfer mini-drive, instead of the hard drive, some users may see a slight delay (a fraction of a second); most however will surf no differently than they already do - except with the confidence that their surfing habits are 100% secure.
Is there anything else the StealthSurfer can be used for? [click here]
The product can also be used as a portable USB flash drive in place of floppy disks. This makes it ideal for shuttling large files easily between computers (or for instance, work files from the office to your home).
Why is the price higher than ordinary flash drives? [click here]
The StealthSurfer is a combination of both hardware and advanced proprietary software. A typical flash drive is nothing more than a blank "disk." The StealthSurfer however, offers the power and convenience of a portable drive with the added benefit of providing total privacy for your surfing. If you browse on a regular USB portable mini-drive, you will not be protected.
Aren't there software-only solutions that do the same thing? [click here]
Many of the software solutions currently on the market attempt to offer security by removing surfing evidence after-the-fact. The problem is that you risk not knowing if all the files have been truly removed and you must remember to run the clean-up software every time you log-off the Web - in other words, an active effort whereas the StealthSurfer is an automatic and passive security. All Web activity remains on your removable device and can be taken with you wherever you go.
